Chapter 235: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Zhong Yunian met my gaze and smiled faintly: "It means that Miss Shen is very much like my daughter in the Shen family." β
His words made my brain explode, and my face was angry, but there was still a quiet cold in my eyes: "Mr. Zhong, please don't talk nonsense here." β
He looked at the fingers hanging in the air, as if laughing at himself, hooked his lips silently, and said lightly: "It is said that Miss Shen is charming and cold, but I don't see it at all, your eyes are too clear, cold and thorough, not flattering or coquettish, not like a person who has traveled in the power of Hongchen, let alone frowning, similar to me." β
His eyes are erratic, his eyes are surging darkly, with a slight smile, solemn and a little cold, to put it bluntly, he is really a little similar to me.
I couldn't see through the mystery in those eyes, but every nerve in my body was in a state of nervous vigilance, and I couldn't help frowning again.
Zhong Yunian saw that his hypocritical words had no effect, so he laughed helplessly twice, waved his hand, and suddenly all the guards forced over and pulled up the bolt.
"Bring Miss Shen back as a guest, Chen Mu and his future daughter-in-law are in my hands, and I don't know if he will give me face."
Zhong Yunian didn't look at me again, and strode towards the entrance of the hall.
I squinted, but the actor in the troupe called Bai Heng looked anxious, and wanted to follow him, Liu Sanchun secretly grabbed the sleeve of his long shirt, tightened his mouth, and shook his head twice, the flower peony snorted coldly, raised his head proudly, and the smile on his lips slowly hung up.
I ignored her, but I wondered a little in my heart, I don't often listen to plays, and I have never been to this troupe to listen to plays, how do I think that Bai Heng's eyes look at me so hot, and that flower peony looks like that, she likes Bai Heng, and she looks very arrogant, but what does it have to do with me, how do you look at me as if you want to kill me, as soon as you see me just now, you pointed at me and said, if I didn't really live two lives and didn't know her, I really thought she was my rival.
Zhong Yunian also has a house in Ping'an County, outside Xiping City, which is built in the south of the city by the mountains and rivers, and the police station and some government offices are located in the north of the city. Because of the corpses at the entrance of today's vegetable market, many students took to the streets to march against such brutal acts, and the flow of people was bustling, so the cars took a detour around half of the southern part of the city.
I sat in the back seat of the half-old Ford, driven by Zhong Yunian's entourage Li Yong, Zhong Yunian sat in the passenger seat, a long cigarette playing between his two skeletal fingers, slightly tilted his head, looking out the window at the scenery slowly receding.
It's not like going to jail for trial, it's like having fun in your spare time.
Suwen Ping'an landscape is excellent, the climate is warm and moist, and the flowers bloom in spring, which is the holy place for the lady of the family to escape the summer. On the third day of April every year, there is a traditional temple fair where flowers and fairies are selected from the people.
Rows of pink walls and tiles, quite a water town graceful dwellings have been shaken over the years. The green is the tree, the red is the flower, I look dizzy, plus the road twists and turns, the bumps in the car, my stomach is churning, and I cover my mouth.
Zhong Yunian handed over a handkerchief at the right time.
This handkerchief is soaked in lemon orchid juice, snow silk satin, and the tail of the handkerchief is embroidered with orchids, I held it in my hand, and the fragrance went straight into my nose, and she suddenly became much brighter.
"My wife can't sit in the car for too long, but sometimes she has to sit in it, and this veil is prepared to prevent her from getting motion sickness." Zhong Yunian's cold explanation, without looking back, still tilted his head sideways, his cold side face like a knife was clouded, and the Adam's apple rolled and moved with the words, like a flower bone.
I didn't continue, the past lingered along the way, my heart was mixed, I folded my arms, just lying on the car glass, watching the car slowly drive into the iron gate.
The entourage opened the car door, and immediately two guards with spears on their shoulders came up, and their heels were together, Zhong Yunian got out of the car and straightened out his wrinkled military uniform.
The entourage Li Yong felt that I was obviously taken as a hostage, but Zhong Yunian was still polite all the way, Li Yong couldn't figure out his intentions, so he didn't want to slack off, and wanted to open the back door.
Zhong Yunian waved his hand, and Li Yong lowered his head and stepped aside. He stepped forward in person, bowed slightly, opened the car door, and climbed half of his arm on the top of the car, and protected my head very gentlemanly, stretched out a hand, and led her out.
I don't know what his idea is, and I am even more afraid of what he said about leaving a girl in the Shen family, and I am resistant to him, but I didn't see his slightly bent hand, and I looked faint and walked out of the car by myself.
Zhong Yunian's face was as usual, he withdrew his hand without a trace, smiled detached and politely, and made a gesture of invitation, "Please also ask Miss Shen to come into the house with me as a guest." β
In the front hall, Zhong Yunian sent away the guards in the house, leaving only Li Yong alone.
He leaned lazily on the back of the leather chair and asked me a few innocuous questions, and I answered truthfully, and Li Yong cautiously looked at me while holding a pen and writing down something on the paper.
I was puzzled, I didn't want to wade into troubled waters among the warlords, and I didn't want to be suspicious of Zhong Yunian's intentions.
"Please Miss Shen come here as a guest, in fact, I still have something I want to ask Miss Shen, I only arrived in Xiping City yesterday, and an officer under him was plotted, he was stabbed in the chest, the knife is wide and narrow, shallow and deep, and there is a mess of flesh turned out outside the wound, it should be a barbarian knife, and the knife edge is worn, it should be some years, it was prevalent in the former Qing Dynasty." Zhong Yunian observed her expression and said with a smile: "By the way, fortunately, the knife did not cut the artery, and she is finally out of danger." β
I bowed my head slightly, frowning.
Zhong Yunian stared at me squinting and exhaling, thinking it was very interesting, like a cat napping in the yard, he straightened up, Li Yong hurriedly brought the notebook, and handed it to him with a short body, he swept his eyes slightly, and ordered a few whispers.
Li Yong raised his head in surprise, glanced at me with sadness and pity, and trotted away.
Zhong Yunian took out a Western cigarette, put it to his mouth, rubbed the copper and gold roller on the lighter with two fingers, hugged the flames and put on the cigarette butt, inhaling and spitting, and the smoke was filled.
"Did Miss Shen have any last words before she died?" He closed his eyes in pleasure, and his tone was light.
I squeezed the bag in my hand, my heart was anxious, I pursed my lips without saying a word, and roughly surveyed my surroundings.
It's really hard to escape.
Li Yong came in the door, holding a man-high sack in his hand, and was instructed by Zhong Yunian to spread out the bag and put it on my head.
I elbowed away, glaring angrily, and there were violent ups and downs in my tone, "Mr. Zhong, this is not your Zhong family's territory, why did you kill me!" β
Zhong Yunian extinguished the cigarette butt, threw it into the ashtray, walked behind his back, took the sack in the hand of his entourage, and looked at my face condescendingly, from his eyebrows to his lips.
"I used to think that Miss Shen was my daughter who stayed in the Shen family, but Miss Shen didn't recognize it, so since it's not, Miss Shen is just Chen Jibai's fiancΓ©e, do you know that Chen Jibai's subordinates killed my son, now that I'm old, I'm alone, and I can't have a queen, so I naturally have to do something to be comfortable."
His breath was slightly cool, stained with the smell of tobacco, and he pounced on my forehead.
I reacted that he meant that Chang Kun, who was skinned and dismantled, was Chen Jibai's person.
As he spoke, he opened the sack, smiled gently, and covered my whole body with his own hands from top to bottom.
I opened my eyes, saw the light eating away little by little, and I was in the dark, I was really a little scared, fear spread into my heart, my heart was beating fast, and fine cold sweat oozed from my forehead.
I'm not afraid of death, I've lived two lives, I've experienced more than anyone else, but I'm not reconciled, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find out the cause of my mother's death in my lifetime.
Instinctively and panickedly, I struggled twice, and I couldn't see anything, when suddenly someone grabbed my wrist and whispered in my ear, "Listen to me, you may still be alive." β
It turned out to be Liao Yunfan's voice.
Why is he here?
Although I didn't quite understand what the situation was, I suddenly quieted down, motionless, and my wrist hung down in Liao Yunfan's big palm.
Liao Yunfan slowly let go of my hand, as if nostalgic, and lowered his eyes to look at it twice.
I was escorted out, got into the car again, and didn't know where to go.
Based on my intuition, I can only infer that Zhong Yunian only brought Li Yong and five guards with him on this trip, and it seems that he wants to use me to do a good show to lure the snake out of the hole.
I don't know how long I waited, anyway, the day was bright, and the shimmer of light seeped into the sack, I clenched my hands, and my palms were sweaty, sticky and greasy.
Li Yong leaned in and nodded at Liao Yunfan.
Liao Yunfan casually loaded the short gun and fired a shot into the sky, the sound of the gun shook loudly, startling a flock of perched birds, his gaze crossed the sack that was on my sleeve, and went straight to the ghostly black shadows that were approaching in the grass not far away.
As soon as he finished speaking, only two bullets were heard, and two of the guards fell down with a muffled sound before they could lift their guns.
After Li Yong covered Zhong Yunian to avoid the tree trunk, Liao Yunfan's eyes were like an eagle on the top of the sky, staring at the black-clothed man who was approaching lightly, and he also pulled out his gun, the gun hole was facing the sky, and he fired another shot, and the guards who were ambushed under the mountain got a second shot order, and rushed up.
Zhong Yunian stood in the smoke of gunpowder, as if he had drunk blood, he was full of spirit, ten years younger, and shouted in a hissed voice: "Catch it alive!" β
The sound of gunfire came and went in my ears, I clenched my fists, and my mind was full of countless gunshots that rang out when the Dongying people entered Xiping City in my previous life, rumbling and flashing with small flames, exploding in front of my eyes.
The black-clothed man's helpers rushed to the scene shouting, looking at the clothes, they should be the bandits who occupy the mountain as the king.
I lowered my eyes, and all I could feel was that the sack had been removed, and my eyes suddenly lit up, and then my shoulders were held tightly.
"Frightened?" A voice sounded over my head.
I raised my head and saw Chen Jibai, who was also dressed in black, although I didn't know what was going on, but the tears in my eyes suddenly burst out of my eyes.
"Chen Jibai ......," I subconsciously called.
He hooked his lips, and with incomprehensible compassion and joy in his heart, he picked me up horizontally, leaned over and escorted me out.
Liao Yunfan saw the figure walking alone in the rain of guns, he reacted that it was Chen Jibai, a chill flashed in his eyes, raised his pistol, and led Zhong Yunian's five-man guard to bend over to cover for Zhong Yunian.
It seems that he and Zhong Yunian lured the snake out of the hole this time, and the snake led out, but they didn't get any benefits.
can't let Chen Jibai return to the city safe and sound!
Liao Yunfan's eyes narrowed, and he shot a few shots, taking advantage of the chaos, the cat ran up and covered my mouth from behind and dragged me away from Chen Jibai, rolled away to the right, pulled out a grenade, and threw it directly in the direction of Chen Jibai.
Boom, I watched as a huge explosion sounded in the direction of Chen Jibai and the corpse that was blown into pieces.
